FAQs

Tue, 21 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0000

My camera is not in the list of supported cameras in digiKam.

Can you add drivers for my camera ?

digiKam doesn’t included any camera drivers. It makes use of Gphoto2 to do camera operations. If your camera is not in the supported list, i would recommend doing some searching around. Many of the new cameras actually provide a USB MassStorage Device Interface, so that you can access the camera like a hard disk. (See, the FAQ about using a USB MassStorage Camera with digiKam).
